Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July e, 1918-.

Application filed May 81, 1917. Serial No. 172,094.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PETER A. Rename, a

- citizen of the United States, and a resident.

One object of my invention is to provide a frame work that may be readily suspended in a vessel of boilingiwater so as to expose the eggs carried in the frame work to the heat of the" water.

Another object of my invention is to provide improved means for attaching an egg 1 boiler to the side of a vessel containing the boiling water. 7

Another object of my invention is to provide means for'attaching the e g boiler to a cup or glass so the egg may e eaten directl from the shell While contained in the egg oiler.

nother ob ect of my mventlon is to provide with an egg boiler, an indicator showing the minutes the egg has been, or is to be, boiled.

With these and incidental objects in view, the invention consists of certam novel features of construction and combination of arts, the essential elements of which are ereinafter described with reference to the drawing which accompanies and forms a part of this specification.

. The drawing discloses a side elevation of in improved egg boiler attached to the wall 35 o a cooking "vessel, shown in section.

In the construction shown, a single iece of wire 1 is formed into a shape suitab e to retain an egg2 therein, and the freeend of the wire carried from the point 3 upwardly to form a hook 4 for suspension over the edge of a cup or vessel.

The wire at 4 ma be twisted into a ring 5 in which is carried a dial 6, having a rotatable hand 7 that may be set to the numerals printed on the dial.

The extreme end of the wire is formed into a finger hold 8 so the egg boiler may be readily removed from the water to a cup or glass, from which it is hung while the egg is being eaten.

The dimensions are preferabl such that when the egg boiler is suspended in a vessel 9 with the water level at 10 the egg is entirely submerged, and also that when the hook 4 is laced over the edge of a tumbler, theegg 2 1s readily accessible for eating directly from the shell.

While I have described m invention and illustrated it in one articu ar design, I do not wish it understo that I limit In self to this construction, as it is evident t at the invention may be varied within the scope of the following claim.

Claim; r

As an article of manufacture an egg boiler formed of a single iece of wire, one portion of which is shaped into an egg receptacle, an upstanding projection from said egg receptacle formed into a hook adapted to engage the edge of a cooking vessel or tumbler to.

support the egg boiler therein a finger gri in the extreme end of the outdr side of sai hook and a dial carrying ring formed in the wire above said hook.
